Most people on here aren't anti-communist. If there exists a line between anti-communism and communism, most people here actually fall somewhere between the line. What a lot of people don't realize is that communism is a toxin that builds up until it takes over completely. Once you have anyone in your society in-between anti-communism and communism it is only a matter of time before you become communist.
You must become anti-communist to defend against communism. That means the following must be your values:
-
No taxes allowed for redistribution spending. That means no government funding for education, healthcare, welfare, food stamps, etc... Government should exists only for military and enforcing laws. The government should have 0 input in promoting equality or compensating for inequality.
-
Absolutely 0 laws that prevent discrimination. If someone doesn't want to hire someone else because they're black, GOOD, that's his right. This goes for segregation as well. If a private school wants to be all black and not let white people in, GOOD, that's their right.
-
No open borders or immigration to grow pop at all except for exceptional people in exceptional circumstances. It should not be an expected thing each year with quotas. Population should be grown organically with your own women who've been raised in your culture. Immigration/open borders is a communist value that wishes to harmonize the world together as a single race to unify the world under a a single communist society.

No atheism. Believe in God and adhere to the moral values God has prescribed to you. Atheism and the moral nihilism it leads to is a communist value system. Communists seek to replace God as the creator of morals and flip it to the State and State collective which has full control on morals. The State becomes God.
I know many of you will disagree but the moment you take an in between stance, you've opened yourself up morally to communism and the communist value system will take hold because by taking an in between stance you are justifying communism.
As related topic, Aristotelian Values permeated religious teachings for hundreds of years for a reason. He was simply called The Philosopher for most of the 1600s, 1700s. Those values provide the archetypes for heroes and character development in books, comics, movies. Its only a recent trend that woke try to write characters from perspective that has severed itself from the moorings of aristotelian values, and result is the string of characters that are actually villains. Atheists tossed out the baby with the bathwater when deconstructing religion. This is a weakness.
I'm drawing heavily from the under-viewed channel The Fourth Age work. He goes into deep dive analysis of woke culture through exploration of their work in the comic book space. He's a hobbyist in the best sense of obsessive attention to detail. Great source to understand underlying battles of philosophy in the culture wars.
If you read Aristotle, The Bible and Aquinas then formulate your sense of moral values based on these three, you'll have a foundation for a moral value system superior to everyone else's, objectively.
Frankly, I think Hobbes and Locke kicked ass.
Fully agree 100%
Good post. This is what caused our downfall. Unfortunately I can't see any of it being turned around for a very long time unless extreme Constitutional measures are taken.
A lot of people, some very smart people, that see things similar to how I do believe the only way to unwind it is some sort of environmental threat to our life, such as a conventional war or something that destabilizes food production significantly such that people's quality of life suffers immensely.
Otherwise, the trend to mediocrity continues because people have no need for hierarchies that put the strongest on top. Those types of hierarchical systems only develop naturally when people believe they need to empower their strongest and most competent people for their own survival. Once people believe there is no danger, they instead flip the switch and decide empowering strong people isn't favourable, because it isn't, to most people, since the strongest people will always be a minority of people so most people are not strong and hence it only favours most people to empower the strong when that is needed for the weak to survive.
This is also why many people consider universal suffrage a political structure which always leads to communism.
Repeal the 19th Amendment to destroy communism. Sad but true.
This would most definitely help. Universal suffrage is inherently communist.
I realize now it utterly destroys the family unit.
It puts a wedge between man and wife.
It makes females erroneously think they do not need a man.
And it is corrosive in other ways, too.
It is quite erroneous too and a lot of women don't see it, which is unfortunate. They instead become entitled and unappreciative of what men do for them. The way they treat men is that of an adversary and resentment instead of one who needs the other from a position of weakness and incompleteness to form a stronger whole. In that sense, it has destroyed romance.
A common perspective I bring up when I discuses this is think of the typical archetype of a common woman out there who goes to k-12 school, takes out debt to go to undergraduate school, then completes some masters in say clinical psychology, then she works for a not for profit organization.
At every step of the way, this woman's life was paid for by others. The k-12 education is paid for by taxes of men who worked. The debt is backed by the government which is supported by taxes of men who work. The grants are paid for by taxes by men who work. The fact the tuition was lower than it ought to be in a free market is due to government subsidies which is paid for by men who work. The NFP organization only exists because of government grants/subsidies again paid for by men who pay taxes. The people she now helps are people who only go to her for help because they're a part of some government program for criminals or low-class people that is paid for by the government that is funded by taxes from men. Her entire existence is paid for by men; however, she will maintain she is 100% independent from men. Instead she has an expectation and entitlement that she should be given all that she has for the betterment of society as a whole and that she earned it. She will never understand how her entire existence is only because of men. I mean, the only reason she's not a conquered country is the men who fought and died to give the country its freedom.
This creates a huge disconnect between men and women in society. Men get 0 appreciation for the effort they put in and many women who contribute nothing but are actually leaches on society because their entire existence is paid for by someone else's labour, don't appreciate the position they're in. In a non-communist society, women learn to rely and appreciate men because the State doesn't provide everything for the women which creates a much better relationship dynamic between men and women. It's more honest and fair. That's how love truly forms. When relationships are based on oppression and unjustly elevating someone else up to force equality, the relationships are inherently unjust and not fair.
That's just one aspect. Literally everything about communism destroys love and family.
One thing that I know for certain: You are not the final arbiter in assessing anyone's values.
We're not talking values. We're talking about the existential threat to our society, culture, and Nation that is communism.
May I say it a different way?
Under communism, the individual has no value. Zip. All value is reserved to the state. The state is all. That's why the atheism thing is so important to commies. Religion directly threatens commie tenets, like there being a force greater than the state.
Discrimination laws: Commies claim to seek equality, but use that to actually destroy culture and communities. The actual goal is to alienate people from one another, separate them, and remove their roots. Stalin did this my forcing entire ethnic groups to simply move to another part of the Soviet Union, removing them from their cultural area.
A fundamental tenet of communism is that it has no borders. It is international. It respects no culture, language, or Nation. All those things resist communism and thus must be destroyed.
I remember when this was taught in our schools!
